know it. The box defaults to 9999 [all].

First Expense code: There is no search facility for this field, so it must either be left as default [99999999] for all expense codes, or, alternatively, you must enter the correct expense code.
Last Expense code: There is no search facility for this field, so it must either be left as default [99999999] for all expense codes, or, alternatively, you must enter the correct expense code. This field sets the range of expense codes to be selected.
BUTTONS
Once the above has been selected, you will be presented with the button options:
OK: Produces a report immediately. A printer must be available and on line if printed output is selected.
Cancel: Returns you to the Reports and Enquiries menu
Help: Displays help in your default company browser
Schedule:You must enter the relevant selection criteria, then click the Schedule button on the form. This will then bring up the Timed Operations screen, and from there the user can add the report to run at a time and frequency that is convenient. For more information, refer to Batch Printing
Batch: This option allows users to run several [often related] reports in a group at once. [e.g. to save time, they may run the batch whilst away from their terminal].
To run a batched report:
Select the report you wish to run, and fill in the relevant selection criteria, if any is required. If the report is available to be batched on, there will be a button entitled Add to batch, which must be clicked to bring up a child window prompting the user to enter a Report Group There is no search facility here but if the user types in an entry that does not already exist, it will be created there and then, and if the entry does already exist, it will be added to the report group. There is also a box that will allow the user to set the priority required to execute the report.
Once a report has been added to a group, the running of the batch can take place. This actually takes place by selecting the Report Generator menu option, and then selecting the Batched Reports option. Consequently the user can select the report group required [Batch Identifier] with the box, and this will display all the reports in the selected group. At this point the user can also Amend the selection criteria of a report, can Exclude it from the group at this time, or Remove it from the group completely. Alternatively, the user can Run batch, Exit altogether, or access online Help.
